"…comic
book artists and people who deal in comic books all feel
like outsiders, they're never given respect. There's an
amazing skill involved in making a good comic book. The
artwork in comics is brilliant, some of the writing is brilliant
- comic books is a really great art form, but it's not considered
art. Not literature. It's this amazing bastard thing hanging
out there. And they complain, but I keep saying, "No, you're
lucky that haven't been accepted - keep being angry and
outside and doing stuff. Because if you become a Keith Haring
or a Basquiat or any of these people who get drawn into
the Establishment, they die, they just freeze up." Terry
Gilliam (Animator and film director)
